This Fall we are seeing animal prints on everything from shoes to pants and tops and that fashion trend is going to continue into Summer 2013. Animal prints will be everywhere - bathing suits, cover ups, flip flops, hats, bags and more.

You'll see traditional animal prints in browns and blacks - leopard, giraffe, cheetah, and tiger as well as in non traditional colors like pink, fuchsia, green, blue, and red. Check out the example by Victoria's Secret called "Pink Tiger". It's going to be a hit because it's trendy, feminine, and fun. We will also see pattern mixing - florals and animal prints combined together. This is a great way to wear the trend if you're not feeling comfortable with an all over print.

If you're not ready to drop money on a new swimsuit this season, try updating your wardrobe with a sarong or cover up. What's great about animal prints is they can work back to almost any solid suit or you can mix patterns as long as they are complimentary colors. Sarongs are a great option since they are one forth of the price of a new swimsuit and you'll still get the "look".

Are you ready to "pounce" onto this fashion trend and release your inner tigress? If you're not sure yet you can feel comfortable that this trend really works for any skin tone, hair color, and body shape. It adds a little fun and you'll look fabulous wearing it.
